Hôtel Châlet de Lanza

Lanza is a very cozy mountain hotel, full of exposed pine. My room was small, but clean and functional with a wooden balcony with flowers. The bathroom fixtures were modern. There's a game room on the top floor where you can relax, or a restaurant/bar downstairs. I took the combined room-dinner-breakfast ``demi-pension'' option and my meal was delicious, unusually fresh and full of vegetables for France. Breakfast was a nice buffet. The staff were very friendly. Abries is a small village but has a few places to eat and some stores selling mountain gear. However, I would warn that the Queyras is a remote region -- that's its beauty -- and there's not much up these valleys. I was expecting much more choice in terms of places to stay. I had to ask directions to find an ATM machine. I saw just one gas station. As I said, that's the charm of the region but don't expect huge accomodation choices.
